The women’s versatile, lightweight and breathable Alterra Lite shoes are made of very durable materials. This model is designed for medium-heavy terrain, where it will provide you with good ankle fixation, and at the same time will not brake you unnecessarily with its weight. You will also appreciate the lightness and breathability in the warmer months, when your feet in the shoe will breathe comfortably. Breathability is mainly due to the use of AKU - AIR 8000 fabric. It is up to 11 times more breathable than commonly used materials. The upper consists of two structures - the outer, which is made of suede and anatomically wraps the foot, and the inner, which copies the foot in the instep area. A waterproof Gore-Tex membrane is used on the model to prevent water from penetrating the shoe. EVA material in the midsole ensures comfort, which is complemented by the IMS2 damping system and Elica technology. The wider AKU Tenuta sole will give you a firm and secure tread. The toe of the shoe is protected by a rubber band, which prevents it from being kicked by roots and stones. The ankle variant of the Alterra Lite model is thus an ideal light and breathable shoe for the warmer months for all light and medium-demanding treks or long-distance marches.
